In school, we are aware of how difficult life is at the moment for everyone. We wanted to do something special for all of our pupils (whether they are currently working very hard at school or working very hard at home!) to remind them that we are thinking of you all and can’t wait to have you safely back in school. Those children in school will receive their special delivery tomorrow and those at home will have theirs delivered either Thursday or Friday afternoon. They have been in quarantine so are ready to be cuddled!

Enjoy and stay safe from all the staff at Copeland Road!

PS Please send us some photos directly to Mrs Murray!

Although potential new starters can’t visit school at the moment, they can watch the video that we created and give us a ring for further information about our school. We understand that applying for a place in a new school can be a difficult decision to make and want to support parents with this in any way we can.

As part of the ongoing situation with COVID-19 all schools must have plans in place should a ‘bubble’ need to self-isolate at home. Our remote learning offer consists of a balance of online ‘live’ teaching, online based and downloadable activities.

Every year we celebrate Harvest and although it will be different this year, we still intend to do everything we can to celebrate Harvest in school, support elderly people in our community and provide provisions to our school food bank at The Well.

• Every class is going to celebrate in their own way and we will be putting together a short video about Harvest to share with you on our app because sadly we will not be able to hold a Harvest Assembly in school this year.
• Every year we ask you to nominate someone elderly in the community to receive a food parcel and although we cannot do this safely this year we are still going to ask you to nominate someone by filling in a form on the app. They will receive a voucher from us to use at The Well for a hot drink and a cake at some point over the next twelve months, when they feel it is safe for them to do so.
• If you would like to donate any pre-packed (not fresh) food to this good cause, we will provide boxes at the school gates from Monday 12th October until Wednesday 21st October or you could send a small donation of money into school with your child which we will use to buy vouchers for those people nominated.

Thank you for your continued support.
